Since it does not specify the koalas wallaroos, it might be possible. Check with your state DNR. If agreement with the state, always check with your county and local authorities, many counties and municipalities prohibit the possession of animals otherwise legal in the state.
Koalas are protected and can not be kept as pets:
"We will not find them on sale in shops for pets! Moreover, it is illegal to keep a koala as a pet in Australia. The koala is a protected species and has been for some time. " http://geography.about. com / library / misc / ...
Wallaroos are offered for sale in the United States. Here is a cattleman in Texas http://www.drzoolittle.net/wallaby.html
Before you decide, you want a Wallaroo (if NY would even permit), you can see the discussion on this forum: http://www.envirotalk.com.au/forum/index ...

Y what is wrong with a dog?
You need to think seriously. Any sale of exotic animals (such as you suggested) online, the more likely is not very good reputation.
Otherwise, you must research the type of care these animals require, and if they do well with the climate in New York, as their natural habitat is very different from where you live. What is a vet? Is there a relative who would be able to treat your exotic pet?
Something a little less unusual might be a better way forward.
